Thought I made it through this with no problem.....fridge/freezer is toast and I lost everything in there. No idea when trash service will resume. Any clever ideas on what I can do with the spoiled meat/fish?

You might want to video it before disposing and put an estimated value on it. Insurance or FEMA may pay for it. I lost a big freezer full once and it came to about 4200 bucks.

Im not sure on the disposal but they might pay that too. Im glad you are ok. Folks close to you fair poorly!

Richard,
I don't know the backroads well but according to drive Texas ,
We are looking at 45 south to 190 into Livingston, 146 south into Liberty, east on 90 into bmt then 69 south and 73 into town.

I'm not too sure I'd trust that site. It's still showing a bunch of roads closed around my area (big roads like 99 and such) that are wide open and cleaned up. It has not been kept up to date very well... And for instance 99 has been open since yesterday morning. When I checked it a few minutes ago (looking for info on the 1960 route for you guys, it still showed 99 AND 59 to still be closed. They've been open for almost 3 days...

I am very lucky...and grateful! 2 streets behind me... was not lucky at all.

Deer season is coming up...so not that upset with meat loss (except my fish ).

I just have no idea how to dispose in the city with no trash service working.

If you can't get it refrozen somehow or disposed of, I'd go ahead and burn it - if you can do that safely in your back yard. If any city official complained, I'd tell him he could either take whatever I hadn't burned yet and dispose of it for me, or he can pound sand. It's not a normal situation. You shouldn't have to live with rotting meat in your freezer and fridge for days on end.

Saw two awesome things on the way home this evening... one was all the big cranes and trucks out on the 59 main lanes at the San Jac. bridge North bound moving all those HUUUUGE concrete dividers that used to separate the north and south bound lanes and the railroad bridge just east of the highway at the river, whole sections of the bridge were nothing but the steel rails!! The whole bridge spans were GONE!!

The other thing I saw was a convoy a good mile or more long of 18 wheelers escorted by DPS tahoe's headed north up 59... Some serious mass efforts going on to help each other!! Yes, this is TEXAS and TEXANS at their best... and all those from around the country, especially our Cajun brothers n sisters all out in force to lend a hand... yea, America is still America! Praise God.
